“The cost of eating out in South Korea rose to the highest level in nearly two years in January as a hike in ingredients and labor expenses drove up meal prices, data showed Saturday. The cost of meals sold at local restaurants and cafeterias increased 2.8 percent in January compared with a year earlier, the highest since February 2016, according to the data compiled by Statistics Korea. Prices of cafeteria and boxed meals advanced 3.2 percent and 2.3 percent, respectively, last month, data noted.” – Yonhap News
